BESKYTTELSE AV BENSINLEDNING UNER FORRESTE SETE I MAULE
Forandringen er IIMandatory" og gj elder for fØlgende modeller av Maule:
M4 ~ M4e, M4T ~ M4s ~ M-4-210 ~ M-4-210e, M-4-220e og M-4-220S.

iooie- 1062e, 2001e-2004e og 2001S.
Bensinledningen i cockpit på nevnte fly ligger så nær justeringshåndtaket for se~et at det er mulighet for å gripe feil når man
skal flytte setet og derved lage bensinlekkasje innvendig i flyet.
(.
Luftfartsdirektoratet bestemer derfor at fabrikkens
påbudt
e for-
andring i Service Letter nr. 13 av 29. august 1967 skal gjØrÆs
gj eldende for alle norskregistrerte fly av nevnte typer.
Forandringen går ut på at det skal monteres beskyttelsesplater på
senterseksjonen foran bensinrØret slik at det ikke lenger er mulig
å gripe feil. Platenes fasong og befestigelse fremgår av skisser
i nevnte S.L. fra Maule~ som kan fås fra fabrikken eller fra forhandleren i Norge.

PROCEDURES AND REQUlREMENTS
FOR UL TRASONIC INSPECTION OF MAULE WING LlFT STRUTS
EQUlPMENT REQUIRMENTS
l. A portable ultrasonic thickness gauge or flaw detector with echo-to-echo digital thickness readout capable of
'eading to 0.00 L inch and an A-trace waveform display wiI be needed to accomplish this inspection.
2. An ultrasonic probe with the foIIowing specifications wiI be needed to accomplish this inspection: io MH (or
iigher), 0.283 inch (or smaIIer) diameter dual element or delay line transducer designed for thickness gauging. The
ransducer and ultrasonic system shaII be capable of accurately measuring the thickness of AISI 4340 steel down to
).020 inch. An accuracy of +/- 0.002 inch thoughout a 0.020 inch to 0.050 inch thickness range while calibrating shall
Je the criteria for acceptance.
p wedge made of 4340 stee1 (or similar ste
ei with equivalent sound velocity) or at
L. Either a precision machined ste
east thee shim samples of same material wiI be needed to accomplish this inspection. One thickness of the step wedge
Jr shim shall be less than or equal to 0.020 inch, one shall be greater than or equal to 0.050 inch and at least one other
;tep or shim shall be between these two values.
L Glyceri, light oil, or similar non-water based ultrasonic couplants are recommended in the setup and inspection
)rocedures. Water-based couplants, containing appropriate corrosion inibitors, may be utilized, provided they are
'emoved from both the reference standards and the test item after the inspection procedure is completed and adequate
:orrosion prevention steps are then taken to protect these items.
NOTE: Couplant is defmed as "a substace used between the face of the transducer and test surace to improve
ransmission ofultrasonic energy across the transducer/strt interface."
NOTE: If surface roughess due to paint loss or corrosion is present, the surface should be sanded or polished
:mooth before testing to assure a consistent and smooth surace for making contact with the transducer. Care shall be
aken to rem
ove a minimal amount of strctual materiaL. Paint repairs may be necessar after the inspection to prevent
'urter corrosion damage from occurg. Removal of surace iregularities wiI enhance the accuracy of the inspection
echnique.
NSTRUMENT SETUP
Set up the ultrasonic equipment for thickness measurements as specified in the instrments user's manuaL.
3ecause of the varety of equipment available to perform ultrasonic thickness measurements, some modification to this
;eneral setup procedure may be necessar. However, the tolerance requirement of step 13 and the record keeping
equirement of step 14, must be satisfied.
~. If battery power wiI be employed, check to see that the battery has been properly charged. The testig wil tae
ipproximately two hours. Screen brightness and contrt should be set to match environmental conditions.
I. Verify that the instrent is set for the tye of transducer being used, i.e. single or dual element, and that the
requency setting is compatible with the transducer.
~. lf a removable delay line is used, rem
ove it and place a drop of couplant between the transducer face and the delay
ine to assure good transmission ofultronic energy. Reassemble the delay line transducer and continue.
). Program a velocity of 0.231 inch/microsecond into the ultronic unit unless an alternative instrment calibration
irocedure is us
ed to set the sound velocity.
the EQUIPMENT REQUIRMENTS. Place the probe on the
hickest sample using couplant. Rotate the transducer slightly back and forth to "ring" the transducer to the sample.
l. Obtain a step wedge or steel shims per item 3 of
\.djust the delay and range settings to arive at an A-trace signal display with the first backwall echo from the steel near
he left side of the screen and the second backwaII echo near the right of the screen. Note that when a single element
ransducer is used, the initial pulse and the delay line/steel interface wiI be off of the screen to the left. Adjust the gain to
ilace the amplitude of
the first backwall signal at approximately 80% screen height on the A.:trace.
r. "Rig" the transducer on the thinest step or shim using couplant. Select positive half-wave rectified, negative
ialf-wave rectified, or fitered signal display to obtain the cleanest signaL. Adjust the pulse voltage, pulse width, and
lamping to obtain the best signal resolution. These settings can vary from ane transducer to another and are als

9. Check the digital display reading and if ¡tdoes not agree with.the known thickness of the thinnest thickness,
follow your instrments calibration recommendations to produee the correct thickness reading. When a single element
'lnsdueer is us
ed this wiI usually involve adjusting the fine delay setting.
10. Place the transducer on the thickest step of shim using couplant. Adjust the thickness gate width so that the gate is
triggered by the second backwall reflection of the thick section. ff the digital display does not agree with the thickest
thickness, follow your instrments calibration recommendations to produee the correct thickness reading. A slight
adjustment in the velocity may be necessar to get both the thinnest and the thickest reading correct. Document the
changed velocity value:
L 1, Place couplant on an area of the lift strt which is thought to be free of corrosion and "ring" the transducer to
surface, Minor adjustments to the signal and gate settings may be required to account for coupling improvements
resulting from the paint layer. The thickness gate level should be set just high enough so as not to be triggered by
irelevant signal noise. An area on the upper surface of the lift strt above the inspection area would be a good location
to complete this step and should produee a thickness reading between 0.034-inch and 0.04l-inch.
12. Repeat steps 8, 9, L O, and L luntil both thick and thin shim measurements are within toleranee and the lift strt
measurement is reasonable and steady.
13. Verify that the thickness value shown in the digital display is within +/- 0.002 inch of
the correct value for each of
the three or more steps of the setup wedge or shims. Make no fuer adjustments to the instrment settings.
14. Record the ultrasonic versus actual thickness of all wedge steps or steel shims available as a record of setup.

Re-application of couplant may be necessar.
4. Place the transducer inside the first square area of the drawn grid or at the flIst 1/4-inch mark on the roler and
"ring" the transducer to the strt. When using a dual element transdueer, be very careful to record the thickness value
with the axis of the transducer elements perpendicular to any curvature in the strt. ff this is not done, loss of signal
or
inaccurate readings can result.
5. Take readings inside each square on the grd or at 1/4-inch increments along the roler and record the results.
When taing a thickness reading, rotate the transducer slightly back and fort and experiment with the angle of contact to
produee the lowest thickness reading possible. Pay close attention to the A-scan display to assure that the thickness gate
is trggering off of maximized backwall echoes. .
NOTE: A
re ad
ing shall not exceed .041 inch. ff areading exceeds .041 inch, repeat steps 13 and 14 of the
'STRUMENT SETUP section befare proceeding further.
. ö. ff the A-trace is unsteady or the thickness reading is clearly wrong, adjust the signal gain and/or gate setting to
obtain reasonable and steady readings. ff any instrent setting is adjusted, repeat steps 13 and 14 of the
INSTRUMENT SETUP section be
fore proceeding fuer.
7. In areas where obstrctions are present, tae a data point as close to the correct area as possible.
NOTE: The strt wall contains a fabrication be
ad at approximately 40% of the strt chord. The be
ad may
interfere with accurte measurements in that specific location.
8. A measurement of 0.024 inch or less shall require replacement of the strt prior to fuher flight.
9. ff at any time durg testing an area is encountered where a valid thickness measurement canot be obtained due
to a loss of signal strengt or quality, the area shall be considered suspect. These areas may have a remaining wall
thickness of less than 0.020 inch, which is below the range oCthis setup, or they may have small areas of localized
corrosion or pitting present. The latter case wiI result in a reduction in signal strengt due to the sound being seattered
from the rough surface and may result in a signal that includes echoes from the pits as well as the backwalL. The suspect
